My wife's great nephew just bought his first car. Some Korean econobox. I asked him about the engine, and he had no clue at all. I asked him to show me the car, and he was most proud of the new mega speakers, and his floor mats. The floor mats would flash colors in time with the music, and the undercarriage lights. It was nice to see him as a car guy, just a new car guy. Evidently flashing LED lights are important to that age group.

Most ST fans are quite familiar with the background on all their ST heroes. Learning trivia becomes almost an obsession. But for the regular fan, it's fun making these discoveries. Some didn't know the following about our favorite engineer, Montgomery Scott.
1.) He is of very Irish stock, parents from Bangor, part of the Belfast area in Northern Ireland. They emigrated to Vancouver Canada where Doohan was born.
2.) His middle name is "Montgomery", taken from his Mother's maiden name.
3.) Most know that he was involved in D-Day, and WWII, but some particulars may not be known. For instance...
a.) He was helping lead a regiment across an anti-tank mine field.
b.) He took out two snipers leading his men.
c.) He was shot/wounded six times: four in the leg, one taking out his right middle finger, (which was amputated,) and another to the chest.
d.) It was a silver cigarette case given by his older brother (he was the baby of the family), that saved his life taking the impact from the bullet to the chest.
e.) He was part of the 2nd wave of the Canadian landing force at Juno Beach.
f.) He was never actually a member of the RCAF, but came to be known as "the craziest pilot in the Canadian Air Force."
g.) He drew a reprimand for flying a plane between two telephone poles simply to prove that it could be done.
4.) He had an extremely versatile voice and would later voice as many as seven characters in an episode of ST, TAS.
5.) During production of ST:TMP, it was Doohan who made the vocals for both the Vulcan and Klingon languages. He created the first sounds and words. Later linguist Mark Orcrand would create an entire Klingon language, based on Doohan's gutteral sounds and words.

How in the world does that assemble? Are the ends rotated into position?

It's not quite like you'd expect, but it's still not 100% clear. I saw another explanation last year, but that's also not 100%. This is a partial explanation.

I'd like to see it disassembled.

Come on, if you look at it it's nothing as you stack the lumber. Disassemble just unstack it.

It's not mortise and tenon. What am I missing other than the difficulty in cutting such a joint?

Look at the grain of each piece. Individual boards.

June 2nd, 1973: Led Zeppelin’s performance at Kezar Stadium in San Francisco — “There were two cages behind the amps on stage, each containing six white doves […] Robert Plant’s a real hippy at heart, so the idea was that at the end of Stairway to Heaven, we’d release the doves and they’d fly off into the air as a homage to peace and love. But when the cages opened, the birds flew out and one did a low pass over the audience, then must have taken too deep a breath of the San Francisco air – remember, this was 1973 and there was a high chance of being dosed by some deadhead. Anyway, it turned back to the stage and Robert stuck out his hand. The dove landed on it, purely by chance – this was not a trained bird. It was there for about five seconds.”

From cruise liner to hospital ship to scrap metal… the S.S. Maheno drifted onto the shores of K’gari in 1935, after her tow chain snapped in a seasonal cyclone on her journey to Japan, where she was decommissioned and sold to be used as scrap metal. Having drifted onto 75 Mile Beach, her rustic ruins are now a popular tourist destination.

Here is a great photo of a man filling his desert water bag from a hose provided by a gas station as his family waits. This is not on Route 66. We have never been able to find a photo of someone filling a water bag on Route 66. The photo is, also, interesting in that the two boys and the dog actually have to ride in the open trunk with the mother, baby, and father in the front seat. The desert water bag was hung from a bumper, would cool the water as the car traveled, and would be used most of the time for overheated engines/radiators in these cars and for human consumption if it was needed. Although this family was from Montana they are photographed on a vacation on Route 30 but they do say where they are for this photo.
This photo was taken on Route 30 in 1948 by Allan Grant. The LIFE Picture Collection.
